correct me if I'm wrong...

But it seems like revolvers are dated technology. Why would you limit yourself to 6 shots that are a pain to reload when you can have a mag that holds 10+ and changes out easily. I'm looking for another point of view. Thanks

I find them just fun to shoot. And my grandpa's .38 special was the first handgun I ever shot

How about 8 shots & moon clips?

I also like 1911s. Generic feeling plastic pistols aren't the be-all, end-all.

First of all, I often shoot big, heavy bullets at around 1400 fps or so. My target may be down range a hundred yards or more. These targets often clang, break apart, or jump up in a most satisfyiong manner. And, sometimes, they end up on the grill smoking over a mesquite fire.

In most cases, I only need one or two shots, and other times I will empty the cylinder of all FIVE shots. Reloading is no pain, as the empty cases are deposited into the palm of my hand, from which I place them back into the box, ready for cleaning and processing into another round.

I do enjoy shooting, picking more and more difficult targets and at greater distances.
And, I can go through several hundred rounds without reloading a single magazine. Talk about being a pain to reload!

Not all of my ammunition is fire-breathing long range stuff. Sometimes I shoot a pipsqueak load that can barely get through the thickness of the target paper. And my gun doesn't care how potent or impotent my round might be, it fires it with the same aplomb.

First off Ms. Mammy Grizzly says we aren't to use the "R word" anymore.

Second, if you try a .38 or .357 revolver for target practice/plinking, you will most likely fall in love with it. I don't see me carrying my 6" barreled GP100 around much for self defense, but i LOVE shooting target with it, as do my friends. Try it, you will probably be revolver shopping next week. If i had to defend the cats, i'd grab my shotgun or the XD45, but it is nice to know the GP100 is right there if the XD should malfunction (not that it ever has so far).

I have a revolver and I love it. I trust it more than my semi-autos and it will be the first gun I reach for in a home defense situation. And.....she's a beautiful, classic gun. Nothing says "gun" like a revolver, in my opinion. A Ruger GP100. I think she packs more punch than either of my semi-autos which are a .22 and a .380. Very little can go wrong with a revolver, unlike some semi-auto's. She's as reliable and a workhorse.
